Liz's story

Summary: A take on what Liz's life was before she met Meliodas. Will it maybe explain why she was so untrusting towards meliodas in the beginning?

Time line: Liz's life before she came to Danafol, and the mom Er by in which she met Meliodas.

Third person POV-

Liz has always been abused. Back when she was a mere child, by her mother who blamed her for her father leaving, and now, as a slave belonging to the drunkard named Rowan.

Rowan has always been abusive and straight out dangerous, but today was the day it all just went horribly wrong.

It was hard to determine where she had done or said to spike his anger this time, but unluckily fur her it went down in the kitchen.

He slurred curses as he grabbed a kitchen knife off of the counter. To begin with he merely swung it all around, not even trying to hit her, but then their eyes connected...

Then pain, blood, and darkness.

"That ill tetsh yo" Rowan slurred. A mispronunciation of "that'll teach you!"
But liz didn't know what it was supposed to teach her.
She didn't even know what he had done, but at that point Rowan tossed the knife to the ground and left the room. Leaving Liz to figure out what exactly he had done.

'He's defiantly sliced me across the face. By the eye?...no...across the eye.. hire do is it? Will I... will I be blind on my right eye from now on?' Liz thought.
What would happen if she were to become partially blind.
Would that make her tasks harder to do?
If so then it would no doubt bring fourth more abuse.

Liz then shook her head. 'Don't think sky that right now! Just-..just get to clean in g the wound.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Aye! I got a new recruit for y'all" Rowan said and threw Liz onto the ground.
She couldn't believe it, he was giving her over to the military. She I've How her kingdom handled slaves in the military, they practically sent them all on suicide missions.
"She can't do her duties in da house! She's worth nothing!" Rowan ranted and kicked Liz in the abdomen while she was still laying on the ground.

Liz looked up at the  general She was being handed over to and saw that he was smiling cruelly.
Why not just kill her right then and there? Why dud they have to humiliate her?

"Oh? Well I think I know a devision just perfect for her" the general said, and his evil grin widened even more.

Rowan let out a "hmph" and then promptly left. He didn't care what would happen to Liz at that point. All he probably cared about was buying a new slave that could replace her.

"Stand" the general said harshly. Liz understood their threat behind it so she stood up fast, and with a straight back.
She also made sure that her expression would give no hint of fear away.
"You seem like a healthy, fit young woman. Perfect" he says and walked in a circle around her, making a shiver run up her back.
"But, I have no business training a slave like you to become an elite soldier. Suicide squad it is"

Liz must've given something away in her expression, cause he quickly continued, with an evil grin.
"You should simply be happy you can serve your country in any kind of way. At this point it's all you're good for!" He said, his voice getting louder and louder, and in the end he backhanded her across the face.
He hit the right side if her face, and since her eye injury wasn't healed yet she winched from the pain.
"Pitiful" he says lowly as he saw her pain.

"Soldier" the general called to a single soldier standing in the background.
"Lead this woman to her barracks!"

The soldier nodded promptly, and without displaying any emotion he roughly grabbed Liz by the arms and dragged her along.

Liz has a fire in her that told her to fight back, to rip her arm out of the mere soldiers grasp and run for it.
But logic won her over, she was just a slave with the purpose of a Maid. She could never escape...

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Finally they got to her barracks. If they could be called that.
Every other Barack looked fine, but the one she was to stay in looked like it could crumble at any moment.

Then the soldier pulled out a key, and Liz came to realize that she was going to be locked in.
...For how long?

When the doors swung open a horrible stench flowed out. But almost before Liz could grimace she was thrown into the building, and the doors were promptly locked behind her.
It was like she'd walked through the gates to he knew life. A life cut sort.
'I'm going to die...'

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Sure enough, a few weeks later Liz was chosen for a mission. She knew it was suicide when she found out that the only ones going that mission was other disposed off slaves.

She watched ad they were killed by the knight of Danafol, but for some reason she was captured instead of killed...

"Kill her"
"Sentence that scum to death"
"Off with her head!"

Such comments no longer phased Liz, she'd heard much worse throughout her life.

"How hold on!"

That was new, and yet Liz just barely cared enough to turn her head to see who's caused out against her execution.
....'he's just a kid'

"This woman is now under my protection"

At that Liz was actually genuinely shocked, but that subsided when she remembered how people, and especially men, were.
She knew she was pretty, she'd always been told so.
'He's probably just after my body!..I know his types'

"Have you gone mad!?"
"No way we'll just allow that!" The engaged knights shouted at the knight that looked oddly like as little kid.

"Then I guess that makes all of you my enemies" the kid looking knight said calmly.
The other knights however let out sounds of shock and fear, and then the plaza fell quiet.
'Are they scared of him?' Liz thought. It also set seemed impossible, he was tiny and weak looking, and yet the knights acted like he had just threatened to unleash hell on earth.

"Then it's settled!! You're coming with me...uh..sorry I didn't catch your name?"

"...."

"Don't be shy" he pressed when she hasn't answered him the first time.

"..."

"Okay okay you can me later, but I'm Meliodas"
